Bakerzin macarons
Remember this macaron promotion? This is one of my favourite desserts :) It's crispy yet soft to the bite. Sweet but not cloying... It's just heaven... *happy sigh* When the flavours are right, that is
Well, I was determined to try out Bakerzin's macarons since they're having a promotion this month. If this is a good place for macarons, hey, the more the merrier :)
These were wat I got:
Clockwise from bottom left: blueberry flavour, Yuzu (or 'Japanese lemon' as the waiter called it) and rose.
I've to say, the first bite did not disappoint. It was light yet crisp to the bite. However. I regret to say the filling grows sweeter and sweeter wif every bite. I could only stomach up to half of each and had to palm them off to my un suspecting frens ;P Oops.
The yuzu flavour is my favourite out of the 3. It is still sweet but I feel the slight tartness of the lemon managed to temper it a little, so that it was easier to stomach. As for the other 2, the flavours were very subtle. All I remembered were they were so sweet. Hahaha.... well, guess that wat desserts are for - to leave a memory of sweetness??

Shop, shop, shop - SkinLite Masks
Was rather upset over something at work today. Went out for a breather during lunch time to regain some inner peace and sanity.
As usual, went shopping. LOL. Sasa was having promotions on some products AND a overall 7% GST rebate discount storewide. I got some SkinLite masks which are retailing at $1.95 each. There're 6 different types - I got the Royal Jelly, the Aloe, the Seaweed, the Moisturising/Lavender and Green Tea Essence Masks. There's also a Cucumber Essence Mask but since I've dry skin type, decided to pass on that one.
The even better part? You get 1 mask free for every 2 masks you buy ;) I think it's a really good buy - a quick search on eBay shows it retailing at 5 for US$9.95.
Go check it out! ;)

A whole lot of Jurlique
A surprise was waiting for me when I got home last night. There were a few boxes waiting for me; it felt like Christmas all over again ;P
Did some online shopping last week at Acmamall.com. They are having a promotion for free shipping to certain countries AND a 30% discount on most beauty items. How could I resist? :P Did my sums plus some comparisons online. It seems to be the best value I could find at the moment.
So, I went ahead and got my basic Jurlique skincare routine. The bottles came in 2 separate shipments on 2 consecutive days. Each came wrapped prettily in a silver gift wrap and the boxes were all tied with satin white ribbons. How cute is that? *hearts*
However, I noticed the expiry date's Aug 2009. I shall have to start using the products instead of saving them for another time. Think I shall be able to finish the products by Aug? Anyway, do check out Acmamall.com. With the discount until 31 Jan, their prices are even better than Strawberrynet right now.
Also trying out the new slideshow thingy from Photobucket. Quite cool ;)

A|X sale!
It's the lead up to Christmas and the Christmas mood is all in the air. Esp in the office, among my colleagues. We've taken to lunching out almost everyday last week ;) And spending our lunch hrs in the shopping malls. LOL.
So, on Thurs, we went to Taka. Boy, I really got the urge to shop, shop, shop, wat with the Christmas carols, the signs plastered all around, screaming "SALE!". It's hello consumerism, goodbye dollar bills. Hee.
After getting some Christmas gifts, I had 10mins before regrouping with my colleagues. I couldn't resist dashing into A|X (one of my favourite brands - when it's on sale). I was 5 mins late in meeting my colleagues but I got this nice bubble denim skirt and a wool cardi which is in the wash now. Will try to post pics of that when it's back.
Total shopping costs for the 2 pieces = $200. Whew.

Charles & Keith warehouse sale
Went to the C&K warehouse sale during lunch today with my colleagues. We were lucky that we got there before the crowd came. Some minutes after we started shopping, more people came by and boy it was really crowded.
